Do you have any plans as far as if you're planning on running it stock or with a PPT power limit set or eco mode? I would be curious to know how it compares to a 3950x at the same PPT setting or eco mode setting. I've been interested in getting a 5950x but with the availability issues picked up a couple 3950x's instead at a pretty good price. I would be curious to know, in the same approximate amount of power usage, just how much better a 5950x would be at DC.
OK, preliminary tests. First 2 systems.
2695v3 Xeon, 14 cores@2.6 ghz with 2080TI doing F@H 445 watts.
3950 Ryzen 16 cores @ 4 ghz with 2080TI doing F@H 490 watts.
The 5950x comes tomorrow, and the system is ready. It will replace the 2695v3. I was hoping for less power usage. Looks like maybe not, but WAY more computing power. The 2695 with no video doing F@H was 195, so 250 watts for the 2080TI. So 240 for the 3950x at the current bios settings (might need some tweaks, not sure what)
Edit: both are total power from the wall using kill-a-watt identical units.
Edit 2.. The 2695 uses one 140 mm fan. The 3950x uses a 280mm AIO. What do you think is the power usage difference ? The 5950x will be using a fan also.
The 2695 is doing 25 current WCG tasks, and the 3950 is doing 31 current WCG tasks. So right now the AIO could be the main difference in power.
Edit 3::: Boy the production time is WAY different. 3 hours 23 minutes for MCM tasks for the 2695, and 2 hours 20 minutes for the 3950.

Looks like over twice the points for 45 watts more power. And maybe less due to the AIO
